My grandmother was born in Elkmont in 1922. I love visiting and learning about my ancestors. ❤ it's so beautiful and peaceful there!
I live in Sevierville. I'm going to go there this weekend... Thanks for stressing to visitors not to damage our history...👊
Thanks Mark
What an outstanding nook in the Smokies. Truly enjoyed this hike.
Thanks for this vlog. We couldn’t have found the cabin this week without watching it. The highlight of our trip ❤️!
Thanks KY Lady
Great to see people working together.
Thanks Christina
Thanks again for your family love the trip s and family beautiful picture s painting 🖌️🎨 and cabin
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes interesting at very end of your video with equipment issues....spooky...paranormal?? That made that explore all the more captivating! ☺️💜👍
thanks Deb❤
I love how the cabins are near water I could sleep really good listening to the creek
yes 😁👍👍
This is by far my favorite vlog you have done! I love all your hiking videos. Even though I still visit the GSM several times a year Like I have for the past 25+ years, saddly because of health reasons I can no longer hike or just take quiet walks through the park I love so dearly. You do such a awesome job of showing people to get out of their cars and for a little away get away from the "touristy" part of GSM!! AWESOME AWESOME video PLEASE PLEASE keep them coming! Great Job you 2! :) :)
What a beautiful hidden treasure! Just that bridge was a little scary! Thanks for sharing
it was long Thanks Laurie❤
wow that Avent cabin was very nice. Its amazing its been kept so well. Probably because it is so far off the road, jerks don't want to go so far. That green cabin at the beginning was once a really nice place also. The funny little turret porch on the front was interesting.
If I was hiking and had to find a place to camp if it was too late,I don't think Id mind trying to sleep in it if I had too. lol
That window reminded me of another painter's home studio in Brown County Indiana, T.C.Steele's studio barn has huge windows in one side to let in light for when he painted.
I looked her art up and she painted very interesting way as her paintings look almost prismatic, like a stained glass window effect, multi-colored across the entire work. Very unique, I think Ive seen her work before somewhere, probably in a Smoky Mountain book or long time ago in old Gatlinburg when it was still had artist colony folks.
We have a Ann Varner painting from back in the 70's. My mom told me that they had bought some Iva Prince paintings in the 70s also.
Thanks for sharing D. Aardentvarkitage
So glad y'all & others are ok from that falling tree. Thank y'all for taking us on another great adventure, beauty, neat & unique places. Love it! ❤😁 Dawn: 'Screamed like a girl" & she chuckles! 😆 After camera starting going in & out & y'all were back inside showing the fireplace, before cutting off, I saw what looked like an orb go shooting upwards. I slowed it down to see if it could've been dust or a bug, but looked like an orb. Hmmmmmm..... weird happenings there at the end. Glad y'all are safe! 😁
Yes it was scary Thank
Another Fantastic Video.
It's amazing, how you capture all your subject matters and share it with us through your videos
Will, do you like history?
I think you do
You're very knowledgeable and everything you show us through your video.
Thanks for Great Adventure with you and Dawn.
The Adventurere's!
I love history but try not to bring to much in the vlog or it will get boring for most. Thanks Zardonrich😁
Loved this video.... hopefully my husband and I will be able to go see this one!!!!
It is not that bad to get to just hard to find
Enjoyed this video a lot. This has become my new evening tradition to watch a new video. Thanks y'all!! Deb
Thanks Deb
Amazing cabin. Love how well it's been preserved. I hope it will stay that way. It's so sad when I see the carvings and disfiguring that has happened at many of the cabins and historical sites.
Yes it sad when we see what people have done to so many great things here
Was wondering how long it would take you to do a video on this canin, they let A LOT of beautiful history go to the dump! Well done!......ATB!
its a shame the park did step in years ago and save some of those cabins. Thanks Gray Wind
What a beautiful place to hike. Be safe . Thank you for sharing
❤❤
The best place in the Smokes to have a cup of coffee, on that porch, early in the morning. My favorite place.💗 Did you see the resident mouse? It lives in the loft. Lol. Love that you found it. Great video, as always.
Beautiful cabin it a good thing we did not find the resident 🐁😵
Beautiful cabin. Great video. Thanks.
❤❤Thanks Mable
You are truly right, we never know when our time is....that’s why it pays to stay ready to meet our Maker. Wonderful point, well said! 👍🏻
Thanks Rebecca❤
Love the elkmont videos
Absolutely amazing I bet the bridge was pretty slippery
No the bridge has a rocky coating on top that helps Thanks Karen
Last summer on vacation. I walked and walked that trail and couldnt find that cabin 🙁 I will hope to try again. 🙂
Wow, that is absolutely amazing. That cabin is stunning. And I think you had an unseen visitor!
yes Scarry thanks Lynn❤👍
Enjoyed
Thanks Jane
What a treasure! Thank you for this video and sharing this historic cabin.
Your Welcome macey❤
Awesome, love it, been to Elkmont thousands of times never knew the trail or cabin was there, gotta hike it in July 2021, Thanks yall, gotta catch up with ya guys in July,by the way I'm from East Texas, lots of love💞😉
What a wonderful video and thank you both for showing all the respect at the cabin and clearing the fallen tree.
We have to perverve what we have left Thanks Stephen
I came across you guys a little while back I think you guys are the sweetest people I think I've ever seen... I was just starting to lose faith in humanity and you guys restored it, thank you for the wonderful adventures. I can watch from the comfort of my home recliner in my pajamas you guys are doing all the hiking and hard work for me LOL... just make sure you stay hydrated and bring bug spray and sunscreen.
Anyway, I am a BIG BELIEVER in the Paranormal totally believe in it we'll get into that another day but at the end that was DEFINITELY an ORB and yes her spirit is definitely definitely there if your wife didn't speak after you said hello hello you might have gotten an EVP but anyway great adventures and I look forward to many more.
God bless, stay safe!
That trail definitely looks very unsafe I wonder why they don't keep it up a little more being that it is a registered Historic Site that bridge looked too scary for me LOL
Thanks so much for being apart of this channel❤👍👍
Wonderful video! TY 😊
Really nice video! Glad you both are safe with that tree falling. Yes you never know what lies ahead. So important to be thankful and enjoy life everyday! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂💜
This looks wonderful and the view from that window is amazing!
its in very good shape
Love it another great video guys.
Thanks Vanice👍
Thanks for taking us to thecabin Will and Dawn.It is very secluded. Wonder if there was ever a better way to get to it when it was occupied. I love seeing how well preserved it is and hope everyone continues to respect it. I often wonder how the area was before the area became a national park. I love the history of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I have watched vlog s about The Elkmont area which is quite interesting. Wasn't there a big resort hotel in that area that people would come to go escape the city life of Knoxville?
we hope it stays in great shape. The good thing is that most hoodlums won't hike that far thanks Nancy
That's a good question about an alternative route. I can't imagine the trail/route that folks use now was how Mayna Treanor Avent or her family went to and from the cabin.
She died in 1959. I wonder if that cabin has been empty since then. That's quite a departure from growing up in an antebellum mansion (per Wikipedia). And her son lived to be 100. BTW, that sketchy looking footbridge looked fun.
I am currently doing some research and hope to find some of her paintings on display Thanks Rob👍
The lease remained in her family until 1992. I suspect it may have been used from time to time, but I doubt anyone lived there on a permanent basis after she did.
The truly interesting part is that the National Park Service didn't want to maintain this as they felt it wasn't historical with the rest of park structures (Cades Cove, etc.). The family and her friends got the cabin listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and that forced the park service to maintain it.
Yes you know what was going on with camera good vid you both are getting better and better at it love history man and dthe way you tell the story last part was an orb
I have never experienced things like this before ever. Dawn and I really felt like we where being watched you can truly feel a presence. I am a huge septic on paranormal things and never had these feelings and unexplained happens before. I think some thing is looking out for that cabin
My first visit here was February 2017 when there was no leaves on the trees and you could see the cabin from the Jake's Creek Trail but would imagine in the greenery of the summer you couldn't. Well worth the trip as Elkmont has so much to offer other than deteriorating vacation homes you just have to get out an explore.
Love this cabin thank you guys for sharing
That flower you showed in the beginning One name is named naked lady bulb.
I bet there is alot of history around there
Really nice video
Thanks for sharing
Take care
Gotta watch out for those trees! About 3 months ago my parents and oldest daughter had a tree fall on their car on the colonial parkway in Willamsburg ,VA totaled the car but luckily no one was hurt!
I am so glad she was ok Thanks Joyce❤
Many others, including some of my other youtube friends have done vids in the Elkmont area. Just do a search for it. It is haunted w/much paranormal activity, especially at night when they've done night explores.
Wow, so much to say about this video. You just posted & already so many comments. The floor looks like it is in really good shape. Even when I was younger I probably would not have hiked that far back in through all you encountered. This was truly a great video, and the knowledge you are providing with your postings are very helpful. I think I saw you moved from Michigan, how long have you lived there in the area now. And I just have to ask, what do you guys do for a living, as it seems you are doing these videos every day. Your love for the area really comes through, & you allow most of us to see & experience sights we will never see or in some cases like myself see again because of age & distance because of where I live now.
Another amazing Video.
Question, how do you prepare yourself for Hiking safety wise?
Especially since you are Hiking early Morning?
Like Bears or Wildlife?
Thanks Doreen
Cabins built so close to the edge.. Wow. The lady artist must have been in excellent physical condition to walk this with supplies to get home. I still cannot wrap my mind around being in this area after dark....no way at all. She had to ford that stream alone? Endure the dangers of wild animals, etc. What a woman. at 20:07 the door had a small lock near the top that could be used to close the door instead of the rock....if it is turned to block the door from opening. Brave lady to live there alone. Would absolutely creep me out. I am shocked at the people who would want to be there alone as she did.
Thank you for sharing Vikki
Back when the Avents bought the cabin in the 1920s the area was being significantly logged so I doubt there would be that much vegetation there and the National Park allowed a lot of roads to be reclaimed by nature so I doubt she had to walk a trail with supplies. From what I could read about it they bought it as a summer retreat like many wealthy individuals bought retreats for summer months high in the mountains near Elkmont.
Yep, it's spooky
Well Yankeeinthesouth me my mom dad leave our house tomorrow the 18th at 6am in the morning to head down 2 Pigeon Forge to stay all the way to Friday i sure hope i get 2 see ya'll man it 11:18pm right now & i'm getting up at 5am in the morning LOL i'm always up b4 my mom & dad but night ya'll & i'm gonna be trying 2 find ya'll down there i sure hope i get to meet u brother ya'll have a goodnight dud
This was an early tourist summer community that existed after The Park was established. Elkmont was a BIG community that was given so many years to do business after Park was established, and only recently was torn down. These were not year round homes or early log cabins, but summer shanty "cabins". There was even a huge two story inn there. Fairyland I think. The inn is not being used, but may still be there. This Park is very different. The Peoples Park. It was stipulated that the Dept of Interior may NEVER charge an intrance fee. MANY homes and farms were there before. But, just think... if the Park had not purchased this land and established the Park...ALL OF THIS LAND WOULD HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AND RAVAGED FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. It was saved just in time and offers half a million acres and over 800 miles of trails for ALL OF US to enjoy. The last cabin, IS AN OLD CABIN HOME. BEAUTIFUL!
Ok sorry for the 3rd post, but you need to watch this. You may have had a visit from Mayna while you were there. On you tube search this video: Avent Cabin hike Randy DeLong. It's a M.O.P.S. recording. You will hear Mayna supposedly. It's nice but kind of creepy. Worth the watch.
We just watched Randys video 😵 Now I am a big sceptic on paranormal stuff but after visiting this cabin I don't know. The whole time I felt like we where being watched but never scared. I had perfect lighting on that porch and darkened up completely almost like it was being drained. when I said hello hello I was testing my mic to see if it was draining it. My phone shut down twice and it had to change my gimbal out for another one I keep for a back up. but the crazy thing is when I got home to charge my equipment It was fully charged. I Bleave she is watching over her cabin
yankeeinthesouth Wow! Eery for sure! But that makes visiting it even better. Lots of strange things in some of those woods. Lol. ❤️
Some of her paintings are in the Smithsonian Institute. ☺
I am starting to do more research on her now and maybe find her paintings on display.
We are going to try and find this beauty *strictly for photo purposes* what are some things you suggest carrying in a backpack while hiking?
Yes definitely do try it in spring course the wildflowers are beautiful in that area
Thanks for talking about the graffiti. It is so bad that some people think they should leave their mark
Is there ever problem with poision ivy?
I do see it but never had a problem
Is there any cell reception at all up there?
No none at all
Nothing unusual going on with the camera there is a lot of contrast between the right and left of the scene. The cam was just trying to pick the right exposure as you move around. I've heard gimbles will glitch from time to time. Could be battery issue.
Thanks Rob
Didjya sign the Book? So, if I git thar, I can see ya'alls autograph...
Thanks KKates
is there any rules that prohibit staying the night there? I'm just asking and thinking I might like to do it if it is permisable. Thanks
Yes you can only stay in back country shelters with a perment but I am going to ask a ranger if there is any special perments Thanks glb
It does make a sound I live out in the country and you hear dead trees fall once and awhile when I first heard that sound it was sunning and afternoon it scare me at first till my husband said it a dead tree falling that why you never camp under a dead tree they call it a widow make it will kill you
pretty scary Thank's Yama
Jed,Granny,Jethro and Ellie Mae used to live there but once he hit that black gold Texas tea he loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly Hills
😊
Please go watch exploration unknown youtube video of this cabin also
We'll do thanks Lonnie
@@yankeeinthesouth think youll like it
Was it fresh scat?
bear poop💩lol
Traversing that bridge looked more dangerous than to go into the green cabin I kinda would have liked to see the inside. If you by chance went through the floor boards you might look and find the million dollars the psychic owner anticipated you would be there as a gift
As long as it dosent say camp crystal lake with Jasoñ running around
How frightening. In 1989 a friend of mines ex husband and new girlfriend were driving into the National Park and a tree fell on his new sports car and killed him. The girl survived.
Y’all be careful.
its beyond sad the government tossed all those people off their land and not a single one of them were there to move that tree out of the road ! they are just gonna let that cabin rot and not do a damm thing to maintain it ! its very obvious the government has not done this land one drop of good !
Thanks Steve
They can't let it rot. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. They're required to maintain it now, and they have recently replaced the floorboards and done some other work.
I don't do spiders😱😱😱😰😰😰
Yes this not fun😵
